Showdowns were not uncommon in early Mexico. The bells played a crucial role. On time at 12 noon, when the bell of the church sounded for the last time, the duel was carried out. Nowadays, the Spanish bell no longer fulfills its ancient purpose. But it still stirs up fear in the hearts of those who see the bell. No wonder, if you hang on the clapper of the biggest bell in the world. The bell oscillates with 28 tons of dead weight up to 28 meters. It reaches an angle of 120°, on both sides.
This ride attraction is the only one of its kind worldwide. It was used until 2007 on the Vienna Prater. Then HANSA-PARK got "The Bell" to Northern Germany. In addition to Torre del Mar, this attraction comes from the factory of the Austrian manufacturer Funtime, and is very unusual. With 6 seats, the ride does not offer much capacity. This can lead to long waiting times.
However, the thrill is guaranteed. Since only six people hanging on the clapper, you sit very close to the fulcrum. As a result, you can feel strong g-forces, even at low rotational speeds, to pull you out of the seat. During half the journey, the rotation ends and you swing straight through the vertex with more than 70 km per hour. The bell is a ride that combines many driving movements. In conclusion, it can be said that The Bell is an insider tip for all Thrillseeker. Even if you do not look at it.
For the main season there is also a wet cooling. The Bell is equipped with a water fountain system and modern fire effects.
